An apparatus and method for determining optimized path traversal in a radiation delivery system is described. In one embodiment, determining an optimized path traversal in a radiation delivery system involves providing a plurality of spatial nodes used in a treatment plan, where each of the plurality of spatial nodes represents a position of a radiation source made available to the treatment plan for delivering radiation to a target, identifying a number of unused spatial nodes, from among the plurality of spatial nodes, at which radiation is not delivered according to the treatment plan, and skipping travel to one or more of the unused nodes by the radiation source when administering the treatment plan. Other embodiments are also described.
A method, comprising:
The method of 1 wherein the radiation source is coupled to a robotic arm having 5 or more degrees of freedom.
An apparatus, comprising:
A system, comprising:
A machine-accessible medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a machine, will cause the machine to perform operations, comprising:
